A Vintage Box.

Good Morning,

Another week and another designer creation for Scottie Crafts my local stamp shop here in NZ, hopefully some inspiration as well to get your juices flowing.

First though, please accept my appreciation for supporting me last week with my first project and taking the time to hop across to the Scotties Blog and leaving a comment, you all made my day and I know the team at the shop would have been thrilled with the feedback...so Thank You.
Now, let me take you through my altered box.
And like many of you I was so eager to start painting that I forgot to take a picture of it before the paint went on!!!!!!!!!!
It was a plain paper mache box.

This is the inside lid, with two coats of Acrylic- Raw umber and Gold metallics.

It might look messy but it did not matter as most would be covered. Why paint it then you may ask, yes well, what can I say other than I like getting messy and paper does not satisfy the need!

And here finished with wonderful elements.

The finished Box.

The Turquoise script is a paper napkin mod-podged on.

Do you want more pictures and details on how I made this then hop across to Scotties HERE.

Oh loving your box Sue, both the inside and the outside look fantastic!! Great textures and I just adore how you have altered that Tim Holtz frame thingy (forgot what they are called). A really gorgeous make!!

Wow.... what a gorgeous box, Sue. Those embellishments and textures on the background of the top are stunning! The inside piece is amazingly beautiful with all those fantastic elements. Thank you for sharing. :)
